High thin clouds diffused the sunlight that was spilling onto the cemetery.
Selected for its healthful climate, the nearby installation of Fort Stanton served as a tuberculosis hospital for the Merchant Marines, hosting some 5,000 sailor patients between 1899 and 1953, 1,500 of whom are buried here in this desert location.

San Patricio Storms
Sometimes when I make a photo I can almost talk myself into believing that no other photographer would have spotted The Thing I Just Photographed. And other times, I believe that Any Reasonable Person With a Camera would have made the exact image I just got.
This, obviously, falls into the Any Reasonable Person category. I mean, really – how could anyone look at that mountain, the sunlight on the white building, and those clouds and NOT produce exactly this image?
But I’m still glad I made it.
